Gov. Sonny Perdue honors Rosemont Elementary’s Chuck Massie as a ‘911 Hero’
Two days after his dad was in a wreck while on duty in his Troup County Sheriff’s Department car, Chuck, now 11, his sister Tara Lynn, 6, and his grandmother were in a crash on the way to see him. Chuck Massie got his sister out of the car, flagged down a passerby for help and was able to tell emergency responders and West Georgia Medical Center emergency staff exactly what happened, including military times for the events.
“I thought pretty soon he was going to whip out an insurance card,” said Suzy Noles, 911 supervisor, who came to the emergency room after the crash.
Chuck Massie was honored by Gov. Sonny Perdue last week for being a “911 hero,” an honor well deserved when so many young people make prank calls and even adults call the number for non-emergency information. Tuesday, the Troup County Commission honored the Rosemont Elementary School honor student.
“We’re not the governor, but we’re proud of you too,” said Commission Chairman Ricky Wolfe.
We’re proud of you too, Chuck.
